I like AMD. Have been with Intel for ages but AMD does allot better with games.

AMD Sempron 3400+ 64 Bitars m fläkt
I would try and get a athlon 64 3200+ or 3400+ If you can get a x2 3800 that would be awesome and the prices should drop to the same range as the athlon 3200+ end of this month.
1Gb DDR memory pc3200/400
160Gb Maxtor harddrive 7200rpm
NEC DVD-burner 3551 dubbla lager
Graphic card (videocard) Asus EN7300GS 256MB PCIe
Go for a 7600GT
Sony Floppy
Logitech keyboard
Logitech optical mouse
Logitech speakers 2st
10/100 network card
4X USB 2,0
ATX medi tower 520w

Other then that looks good. It would be a good idea to find out the maker of the power supply as a cheap power supply can cause problems like system crashing. I am assuming that you can afford my suggestions and the price should not be that different.

A NIC is going to be on an half decent MOBO. s939 is the new AMD budget platform, wait until the 24th and pick up an X2 3800+ for $169. Do not expect the stock case PSU to be worth a damn, as they almost always suck and can fry your system. If you can pick up an Intel Core Duo 2 (Conroe) on the 14th, as it will offer the best performnace, if not s939 is for you.

Could this count as plagiarism?

I would say get a strong CPU, graphics card, and power supply. Or I mean better and you will have your self a good rig to play games with.

Core duo is still a baby and buying now would be a risk. You may end up spending all your time trying to get the thing to work.

No not plagiarism, since I didn't actually read your post

I usually skip them as 3/4 the time its from people with no idea about what they are talking about. Congrats if you actually wrote something worth reading.

How rude. *slap* I challenge you to a dual.

And here I thought you were actually here to give advice.

These two systems are very close. An ASUA motherboard is a good bet. But still see if you can get a better graphics card or go with the 7300 as it is the latest generation and has all the features.
